Only 2 miles from downtown Grand Marais, this extremely charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has character and wonderful sunny spaces. The owner has lovingly completed many updates throughout the home and the property. The upper level has an open design plan with vaulted ceilings, a cozy living room area, dining with access to the deck, plus the kitchen has a large island for extra dining or those big projects. AND there is a fun little loft area for the nimble! The main floor bedroom has plenty of closet space and a private half bath. The lower, walk out level features a beautiful wall of south facing patio doors and windows with views of the gardens. This large space could be divided into a bedroom or two, or a game room, hobby space, or office – the options are endless. The laundry room and bathroom complete the lower level. There is a 14 X 19 building with a loft & it has been wired for a kiln. This space is waiting for someone to use their vision and create a studio, workshop, or guesthouse! There is a 2-car detached garage, with plenty of space for the car and storage of the recreational gear. Did we mention the gardens? It is fun to spend time wandering around and admiring the whimsical nature of the perennial garden beds. Schedule an appointment today.
